Here is an explanation, with examples of what equality, diversity and rights mean:
Equality is being equal and having a fair society, especially in rights, status or opportunities. Some people may experience discrimination because of gender, race, sexuality, age, disability and few others. For example;
A blind person is at a disadvantage because they can’t look at a presentation or won’t be able to know what it is about. A diverse action towards this situation is if you read what the power point said they would be getting all equal chances to their education.
Diversity means accepting differences; everyone’s differences are equal and accepted/respected. An example of this is; professionals in a health and socialcare setting should have an understanding that each and every one of...

Explain how the plan meets the health and wellbeing needs of the individual
In health and socialcare the wellbeing of the individual is essential for all round health and well-being. Using the case of Miss JB, this essay I will explain how my plan will meet the health and wellbeing needs of this individual. To assist this process an action plan have been drawn up to support the short term, mid-term and long term goals of the individual to enable Mr JB to achieve his health and wellbeing needs.
NOW TALK ABOUT WHAT HEALTH AND WELL BEING IS
A person's health and well-being is affected by a number of different factors.
In general terms, health and well-being can be defined as…… having a balanced diet (e.g. improved immunity, feeling healthy controlling weight)
adequate rest and sleep (e.g. improved concentration, refreshes body, restores energy)

...choice of food and drink.
1.4 Describe how and when to seek additional guidance about an individual,s choice of food and drink.
It is important to give people some choice in the food thay eat. This will make mealtimes more enjoyable. Just imagine being unable to prepare meals for myself and having to sit down day after day to eat boring, unappetising or badly cooked food.
Choice should be offered in the type of food, he way it is cooked and the quantity of food that is provided. It may also be helpful, if possible, to vary the times at which food is provided, so that people can choose the tome at which they wish to eat rather than having to fit in with the arrangements of their care setting. Of course, this is not easy as there are always considerations about staffing and running any care facility.
Knowing the types of food and drink a person likes will help to build a trusting relationship. Some people choose not to eat meat because of their concern for animals. Some people have foods that they just do not like. Some people choose not to eat certain food because of religious easons. People from some groups will only eat food that has been prepared in certain ways depending on their religions laws.
It is important to know what a healty and balanced diet is encouranging people to make suitable choices about what they eat is a very important part of supporting them. Some people may need to have a special diet for medical...

...form which they are able to understand. In my one-to-one interaction we had to change our way of communicating due to the disruption coming from the background. At first we used verbal however the resident found it hard to hear so we tried again but being close to each other however this failed again. We finally got there by using picture cards witch another member of staff gave for me.
Finally, assertiveness is an effective factor because it affirms the person's rights or point of view without either aggressively threatening the rights of another (assuming a position of dominance) or submissively permitting another to ignore or deny one's rights or point of view. This shows that everyone has the right especially when working in health and socialcare settings. The staff have to do what the resident wants even if they get the same answer every day. When i did my one-to-one interaction i had to ask the resident what she wanted for breakfast even though she has the same everyday sometimes they might fancy a change.

...﻿In this essay I am going to talk the patterns and trends of health and ill health among different social groupings. I will talk about each pattern and trend in its own paragraph, Social class, Gender, Ethnicity, Age and Geographical location. I will talk about the links between these to health issues. I will back these up through the use of evidence such as statistics. I will then conclude what I have found out. Firstly I will talk about each pattern and trend.
Social Class
Social class helps to deter the reasons for individual’s health and ill health. Social classes also help with understanding health and ill health, this is done through the basis of individuals lifestyle class, for example the lower class who work in the worst conditions and have the lower ranked jobs are seen to have the poorer health. Were as the higher class are them which work in jobs that mean they work higher into the society such as office work. Meaning they’re less likely to contract or suffer with an illness or such like because their environment is completely different. Another thing which means individuals is more likely to have better healthcare, due to their higher position in society and better paid jobs. Yet as society has developed further more, The Equality Act 2010, now...
